- 138 pounds Now 'only' 396

I finally made it under 400! Most people start way below this weight but I began at 534 and I am sooo happy. I am now at 396 and feeling better every day and doing more than I imagined. I will never forget the brave person I was a year ago, but gosh I feel like dancing.... I still have the lower back disc problems and they keep me in low moderation as far as walking, but it is getting better. Any other super sized folks getting happier and healthier?? Blessings! ~Tina~

WOW! hats off to you Miss Tina! You are rocking and rolling!! Your gonna be shake shake shakin' that booty all the time b4 ya know it!! Keep up the good work! Sallykate

Tina, Congrats on all you have acheived and keep it up, the journey isnt easy but it is worth every step once you feel better and are living a healthier life. I started at 432 and am currently 272 at 9 months out (-160lb). I feel amazing, my back pain is virtually gone, my energy is soaring and I sleep about half as much as before. I am also off my BP meds and anti-depressants too. I thank God every day for making this such as easy process for me, I dont think I would be here today if I wasnt approved for my surgery. I can honestly say, I would have rather died than continue in the physical and emotional pain I was in at that high weight. Thanks for sharing your progress with us all! Take care, Amy

I'm super sized...I was getting happier and healthier, but not so much lately.

Congratulations on your loss so far and continued success!
